Inshore Racing Fleet

Bob Ale IRF Fleet Captain

All IRF races start at 12:00, finish approximately 15:00 - 16:00, race in the areas between Kaneohe Yacht Club, Coconut Island and the Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station. For safety boats we have a pontoon boat called the 'Float Boat' and Pop Gillette. Safety boats have VHF Radios and typically at least one crewmember has a mobile phone. Each boat typically has 2-3 crewmembers.

The June races start an hour earlier at 11:00. This 'C' series of races is called our 'Summer Circuit' and is an invitational race. Typically we have between 15 and 25 boats racing in this series (visiting yachts come from the islands of Hawaii, Kauai, Maui and Molokai).
